STRYKER GALLUP QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE 2026
What does being competitive mean to you, and how competitive are you? - Answers Being
competitive means that I am focused on winning. This can mean winning independently or as a team.
On a scale of 1-10, I would rank my competitiveness at an 8. I like to compete internally, creating
small personal milestones and connecting them to a time limit. For instance, if I complete the data
entry for 50 new customers in under three hours, I reward myself with a quick coffee break. I often
carry on this internal competition throughout the day until all of my tasks are complete. When it
comes to being competitive in a team setting, I spend most of my time uplifting my coworkers and
helping them succeed. When my co-workers win, so do I.
Tell me about a time you felt successful. - Answers Last year, I made Presidents' Club for reaching the
top 10 for sales revenue generation out of 500 territory sales reps. I felt a lot of pride in my hard work
and was thrilled to receive this accolade. Overall, I feel the most successful at work when I exceed my
goals and targets
What is the kindest thing a boss has ever said to you? How did the compliment make you feel, and did
you agree with the praise? - Answers I recently completed a client project one week ahead of
schedule. My client was so impressed that they wrote me a glowing review online that my company
published on its website. The review discussed my prompt communication, phone and email
etiquette, and strong organization and time management skills. I agreed with the praise, and it felt
wonderful to have my hard work recognized. It can be hard for me to accept compliments at times. I
am a naturally humble person; however, it does feel nice to earn verbal recognition for a job well
done.
How do you define success? - Answers To me, achieving the milestones I set for myself that positively
impact my professional and personal life. At the end of the day I want to be able to provide for my
family and give back to my community. So, it motivates me to hit milestones and overcome challenges
in my professional life.
How competitive are you? - Answers I am very competitive. Growing up playing sports through
college, you don't settle for 2nd place. That carried over to my professional career. I want to be elite
and recognized as one of the best.
Do you hate to lose - Answers I do hate to lose. I operate on the mamba mentality, so I prepare in a
way that sets me up for success. However, I do think there is a lot to learn from failure.
Do you communicate well? - Answers I do, I think over communication is useful in the med device
industry.
Are you a quick thinker? Give an example of when you had to use these skills- - Answers Yes, you have
to be especially in an OR setting. I remember supporting a case, where a surgeon was using a foot
pedal that controlled irrigation for visibility. The foot pedal malfunctioned and he wasn't able to see
what he was operating. Instead of causing a commotion and stopping the case to troubleshoot the
foot pedal. I ordered the scrub tech to create a 1to1 solution in a syringe, and replace the tubing with
the syringe on the instrument. He was able to control it with his hand and was very thankful.
Do you usually seek out the leadership position? Describe a time you seeked out a leadership position
- Answers Yes, my work-ethic and ability to manage different personalities makes me a leader
naturally. In sports, through the collegiate level, I was always voted as team captain. That crossed
over professionally and when I got the opportunity to be a team lead with Stryker, I took it despite
being the youngest on the team.

prioritize my time and delegate tasks appropriately
How important is it for you to work for a well known established company - Answers It is important
because I want to be proud of the company I work for that produces quality products and results. It
makes me work hard to contribute to that reputation.
Do you go the extra mile for a customer at work, describe a time. - Answers Yes, I remember we were
doing a trail for imaging equipment at a small hospital and they mentioned that reps never stick
around after they were sold something. So i made it a point to give them white glove treatment
through the sales process and even after by staying two extra weeks supporting them until they felt
comfortable.
